LOL This is like the 3rd time an artist has said this to me. I guess I play a lot of video games that I know the set ups they have but I don't own guns or anything XD LOL I had to study a lot about how they worked to make the pretend weapons in Madeline randommode.deviantart.com/art/… The skelly's energy weapon was one of them Madeline's gun is based on a non lethal gun that shoots big rubber bullets. randommode.deviantart.com/art/…

I hope people enjoy the study but I don't want to own anything that could hurt anyone

It's definitely important to have at least a rudimentary understanding of guns if you're going to put them in your work; I did a ton of research for my novel when I was writing it since it had all types of realistic guns in it, but I hadn't had much reason to worry about it since then. Good enough was good enough in this case.
